The Office of the Suhum Mankrado Ankobeahemaa (OSMAH) Foundation has donated sanitary pads and toothpaste to the Basic Schools in the Suhum Municipal Assembly of the Eastern Region.
According to the Foundation, they realized that most of the young girls fall victim to the pragia drivers and get them pregnant as a result of their inability to afford sanitary pads during their menstrual period, hence the pads distribution.
He added that they are doing this to curb teenage pregnancy among the girl child in the Suhum Municipality.
OSMAH Foundation used the opportunity to educate them on how to keep themselves clean when menstruating.
In her address, the Chief Executive Officer of the Foundation, Nana Akosua Korang Larbi urged the female students to be hardworking, self-disciplined, pay attention to their education, and refrain from any activity that may destroy their future.
She stated that in this 21st century, no man would like to marry a lady who doesn’t have the aforementioned qualities which is why every school-going girl child needs to take care of herself at this stage until they achieve their academic goals and gets a job before getting married.
The Suhum Mankrado Ankobeahemaa further said that as a girl child, if you allow the young boys to impregnate you, they will continue schooling to ruin your life, she advised them to stay away from intimacy at a younger age to become prominent people in society.
Adding to the development, the Suhumhemaa, Nana Arko Bensua said that it really pains her when she sees these young single mothers struggling on the streets to get money to feed their kids.
A situation she described as very disgusting, and she wouldn’t want to see any of the female students in Suhum go through such an experience.
She also admonished them to listen to their parent’s advice, stay away from dating at a tender age, and focus on their education to better their future because these young men don’t have anything to offer them other than to get them pregnant and kill their dreams of becoming prominent people in the country.
